Checkr, Inc. Tech Stack
Background screening and risk assessment platform for hiring and workforce decisions
Checkr operates a data platform for background screening and risk assessment, built on Python, Go, and Ruby with a modern cloud stack (AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, Spark). The tech mix—data lake infrastructure (Iceberg, Athena, dbt), machine learning tooling, and API-first architecture—reflects a company moving from legacy screening workflows toward programmable, compliant decisioning at scale. Active hiring is engineering-heavy (51 roles) with senior-level focus, while projects signal product consolidation (integrating an acquired background check product) and platform modernization (replacing Looker, adopting Terraform and Istio).
